Shelbyville, Tennessee — Roughly 200 white supremacists, white nationalists, neo-Nazis and other assorted members of the alt-right held a “White Lives Matter” rally today–only to be drowned out by anti-fascist and anti-racist protesters blaring Beyoncé songs.

The protesters were reported to have vastly outnumbered the rally attendees, according to local media on the scene.

In addition to Beyoncé songs, the protesters also played Bob Marley, another black musician. In an apparent attempt to needle the white nationalists, the music was introduced by one protester who said, “This is what your kids are listening to at home right now, by the way.” Protesters also blared the speeches of Martin Luther King–effectively shutting down the rally’s sound system.

One of the “White Lives Matter” attendees claimed he traveled to the event without any racial animosity or motivation.

In an interview with the local Fox affiliate, he said his grievances had to do with people on welfare being supported by taxpayers in general. He then offered a personal grievance by sharing an anecdote about apparently being passed over for promotion by a black co-worker–who he claimed doesn’t work nearly as hard as himself.

Gatherings like what will occur in Shelbyville and Murfreesboro are used as scapegoats for institutions and white America at large; it becomes a chance to point fingers at the obvious racists. In reality, it is both the practice of overt and covert racism that makes these violent and hateful rallies of klansmen and neo-nazis possible. It is white America who invited them in and it is white America who has the responsibility to see them out.
